The Apex Chassis Ball Joint Kit for the Jeep JL and JT upgrades the joints that modern Jeep front axles lean on hardest. Wrangler JL (2018 on) and Gladiator JT (2019 on) builds get lifted, re-tyred and driven far, and the factory ball joints are usually the first steering components to give up precision. This kit replaces all four with heavy-duty units - and the lowers are greasable, so the joints carrying the most load can be maintained instead of quietly wearing out. It is a genuine Apex Chassis part, imported to the UK.
Most factory joints are sealed for life - which in off-road use means sealed until the grit gets in. The greasable lower joints let you purge moisture and contamination as part of routine servicing, the same habit that keeps every other greaseable joint on a 4x4 alive. Combined with forged construction, it is the difference between replacing joints and maintaining them.
Confirm your Jeep is a JL or JT within the application years before ordering - fitment shown is manufacturer reference. Plan a press-in installation with proper tooling or a workshop, an alignment afterwards, and add the greasable lowers to your service schedule so the upgrade keeps paying off.
For UK customers, prices include VAT, customs and delivery unless checkout states otherwise. For customers outside the UK, local customs and taxes remain your responsibility, and shipping is shown at checkout. If a shipping option is not available, email us and we will prepare a tailored quote.
Many of the products we sell are made to order, imported or custom built, so a lead time may apply. If you need a part urgently, contact us before ordering and we will confirm the expected delivery timeframe and process.
Lifts, heavy tyres and hard use age the factory joints quickly. If the steering already feels loose or the front end knocks, get the joints checked regardless of the year.
The opposite - the lower joints take grease, so a minute with a grease gun at service time keeps contamination purged instead of trapped.
Yes - always align after ball joint replacement to protect tyre wear and on-centre feel.
Building the full front end? The KIT125 2.5-ton ProLock steering kit upgrades the tie rod and drag link on the same JL and JT platform.
